Chapter 73: Chapter 63.2

Fang Cheng never expected that there would be two dead chickens here.@@novelbin@@

He just didn’t come for check here in the past two days, so those people were obviously lazy doing their works?! After this matter was over, he must severely deduct their wages.

However, Fang Cheng also understood that this matter might not be easy to get over.

Lu Dalang said: “This dead chicken has been left unhandled. If left for a long time, it will soon making other chicken sick. I’m afraid this is also the source of the plague that everyone in the city is afraid of?”

As soon as he opened his mouth to determine life and death, the other farmers naturally followed suit. Then he continued talking, trying to step down on Fang Cheng.

Liu Chengfeng frowned: “Don’t open your chicken farm for the time being. When it is rectified, you can open it again!”

Lu Dalang climbed up the pole: “Sir, I think we need to establish regulations for this chicken farm in the future. It’s such a mess. The feed can no longer be used, as well as the water source, hygiene, etc. We have to pay attention to it, right? Why not just issue regulations and follow the regulations?”

Liu Chengfeng nodded: “There is no rule without rules; it is feasible.”

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Lu Dalang, following Jiang Zhou’s instructions, spoke again: “Sir, what about those chickens he has sold…”

Liu Chengfeng thought for a while and said with a dark face: “Those chickens are not qualified at all. How can they be taken out and fed to the people casually? Take out your account books and check them. All the restaurants and eateries you supply must be closed down and reorganized!”

At this point, Jiang Zhou’s goal was achieved.

.

The next day, eight restaurants in the town had been closed. Among them, in addition to Shihe Restaurant, one restaurant had also been closed. He heard that the latter was also preparing to make hot pot, but it died before it could even open.

This incident inspired Jiang Zhou. He asked Lu Dalang seriously that day: “I think our store is not big enough? That’s why there are these people who are trying their best to open branches for us?”

Lu Dalang thought for a while: “After all, outsiders seem to think that our business is quite prosperous and profitable, so there is no reason why they wouldn’t want to copy and imitate it.”

Jiang Zhou rubbed his nose: “How about we follow their way and leave them with nowhere to go.”

Lu Dalang was surprised: “You want to open a branch?”

In fact, he had vaguely had this speculation in recent days, but Jiang Zhou never brought it up. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhou would mention it today.

Jiang Zhou said: “It’s not a complete branch. There are several types of hot pot restaurants. Ours is just one of them.”

Lu Dalang clicked his tongue in surprise: “Do you have any other ideas?”

Jiang Zhou counted them one by one: “Look, the bottom of our pot is now cooked with meat first and then rinsed with soup. What if it is rinsed directly?”

“Isn’t that a clear soup pot?”

Jiang Zhou shook his head: “More than that, clear soup and wolf peach ones are just a few of the many types. I saw a lot of mushrooms collected in a mountain goods store a while ago. They are all picked from the mountains and dried before being sent in. In fact, they don’t sell for much, but if you put these mushrooms in, boil them into a fresh and thick mushroom soup, and the price can be doubled.”

He sighed: “The mountains and rivers in our town have fed a lot of people, and we could have many ideas to make a fortune, but no one has ever discovered it.”

Along the way, Jiang Zhou relied on mountains and water, and used the town’s resources. He unearthed a lot of things from this small town and made a lot of money.

Lu Dalang shook his head: “No one else has such whimsical ideas as you.”

“It’s just picking things up.” Jiang Zhou suddenly thought of something and asked, “What do you think of our town?”

Lu Dalang thought for a while; this was what he had been since he was a child. Where he grew up, he was familiar with every landscape and people. The folk customs were simple and hospitable. Everyone lived actively. So, he nodded: “It is good.”

Jiang Zhou smiled and said: “Actually, I just want to open a few branches, but there’s another idea, and it’s not easy to implement.”

Lu Dalang asked: “Tell me about it.”

“Use cement roads to connect the surrounding small villages and towns, highlight hot pot, unique scenery, and other attractions, and make it a distinctive town.”

Lu Dalang listened quietly.

“Once this place has its characteristics, it will attract people. We can promote hot pot and encourage people from outside to come in for sightseeing. First, it will bring traffic to the town. Once there are more people, the town’s residents will automatically come up with many ideas to make money and improve their lives. Secondly, the more visitors, the more prosperous our hotpot restaurant will be. We can’t rely solely on the townsfolk to patronize our store; it may not last long.”

Seeing that Lu Dalang listened carefully, Jiang Zhou continued: “Now we are just a small hotpot restaurant, and there are already imitators. This time, we can turn our restaurant into something bigger. If the competition intensifies, there might be reasons for malicious competition. But what if there is healthy competition in the future? Our store’s customer flow will definitely decline. Developing the tourism economy can still alleviate this situation well.”

Jiang Zhou envisions turning the small town into a ‘paradise’ that everyone admired.
